E63 w/ Quaife ?

So I read all the old posts and contradictory opinions about installing a Quaife lsd.

I'm looking to install an LSD in my 09 CLS63 and wanted to know if any E63 members have installed the Quafie unit.

what you ordered ?
are you satisfied ?

thanks for any input !

Tom,
Unfortunately I have not had any personal experience with that model Mercedes and I do not have a confirmed application, although one of these very well may fit.

I can send drawing if necessary.
Thanks

No longer stock '06 E55, A3 3.2 Quattro, LRD4 HSE, R107 280SL
I thot the E63's came with an LSD already ... the 30% clamp style? Or was that only on the 030's?

Rgds Steve

Btw my Quaife going in, in the next week or so ... with some other bits , from what I have heard this LSD (ATB) is the best there is.

Quafie for CLS63

Ordered the QDF9V and hopefully get it installed this week by TTMotorsports.

I say hopefully because the guys that know the right one for my car wont say, so Im going with QDF9V and worst case have to rent a car for a few days while they ship me the 7V.

You know how it's going to work out Tony!

I know your E63 will have the Quaife before the build is completed!

Now if only we could find the right wheels!

'09 E63 AMG sedan (sold); E36 M3, E90 M3
maybe I am retarded, but can someone tell me where (website plz) and if you know, which patrt number to add a Quaife lsd for my E63? In winter, it will be very important for me. other seasons, nice/fun to have, but not 'must have'

also, can someone tell me how this product and install would compare to the kleeman lsd?

check my signature for the results of a Quaife ... the "Finishing Tires Link"

.... one of the better video's I have though showing the badassness' (is that even a word??) of the Quaife is my shot around a showcase turn @ autocross ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkJLNgxRBAI

Highly recommend! (granted this was done with a highly modified C class, but same result power to wheels result wise...)

'15 E63S wagon
That's a small diff for such a big performer. Shocking to see the stock diff internals...no wonder it diffs out like crazy, it's an open diff with NOTHING to prevent total power loss to either rear tire.

What are the maintenance intervals on the Quaife. Fluid change interval, internal gear lifespan, seals, etc? Reliable for E63? I'm familiar w/Quaife as a brand but not in this application. Thx.
